Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Approximately 59% of homes in the selected ZIP area are owner occupied. Homeowners can keep drying records with any insurance claim. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Pittsburgh was built in the 1950s. Early construction often has plaster or other dense wall materials. The technician checks how the actual finish responds to an AC leak.
A winterized property can still contain water damage from a prior cooling leak. Restoration work follows the actual moisture condition. A tenant can photograph visible water and notify the owner. Building drying work should begin before hidden layers stay wet.
